San Diego: Third Kit
β€’ Name: Balboa Park Kit
β€’ Wave FC introduces the Balboa Park kit, inspired by San Diego's 1,200-acre urban oasis that has served as the cultural heart of the city since 1868, celebrating SD's diverse heritage while embracing its shared future.
β€’ Built on a rich fan base with shades of blue, pink and orange, and included with patterns drawn from the iconic tile work, the kit stands as a symbol of unity.

Weird that NWSL calls Balboa a third kit but wave seems to be saying it's primary.

I think you did the right thing, or at least the same thing i would've done.

There hasn't been enough focus on how little experience JD Vance actually has in politics, he is so shockingly unqualified to be doing stuff like this. He's like if the kid from Big discovered white nationalism at the fair instead and woke up the next day as vice president of the United States

That is the paranoid terrifying world they already live in. they're trying to drag us into it but we won't go because we're not frightened babies.

It's a little flat to me. i like the story behind it but it feels like a real departure. i always like them better after they win in them though :).

I liked the Balboa kit more after reading the story behind it but it's quite a departure from what they'd been doing. i don't care for the warm up.

I forgot about this, but should not have.

It’s fantastic.

Don’t watch the SOTU, and the torrent of lies that can’t be checked. Don’t let yourself be demoralized by the images of quisling Vichy Republicans clapping at a madman’s rantings.

Watch this, and remember we will win.

I hope they have a ball. Even if the charges were true, whining about hypocrisy is a loser's game. Democrats perfected that particular game years ago and it goes nowhere, convinces no one, yet eats up a lot of energy that could be better spent rat-fucking your opponents.

JJ Abrams is a nepo baby con man who can't write. He got lucky with Lost because we _thought_ he had a plan but he didn't! Just winging it so the ending was terrible. He couldn't write in the ST universe so he blew up the timeline, and his only decent SW was when he plagiarized George.

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

I agree, I stopped playing this game because I felt the editor's hand on the scale too much, trying to trick you into a 'wrong' guess that is usually more clever than the 'right' one.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Again, we don't have an Opposition Party, not even close; these people are a dangerous fucking joke, the lowest bar possible.

We have a room full of people who are "colleagues" with fascists, who protect their capital at all cost & do the bare minimum to gaslight enough people to get reelected.
